They say.. 'We cannot stop time but we can atleast turn it back when DST ends.'

Finally daylight saving time(DST) ends in Pakistan after long period of 5 months.Initially it was intriduced for aperiod of 3 months but later on exceded for 2 more months

It is said 'Saving time = saving energy' but this does not seem to be the case with Pakistan. Although this system was introduced few months back in the name of saving electricity for the country.. but we have encountered even long bitter days of loadshedding during this period!

And it seems as if it was introduced just for a change or to make a fool out of already befooled public.. if not anything else!
